Abstract:
Adenovirus is a common cause of respiratory infection in children and can cause severe pneumonia. Adenovirus can also cause damage to immune system. It can cause decrease in T and B cell num﹣ber and function,imbalance of Th1/Th2 cell proportion,but also can cause imbalance of proinflammatory cytokines and anti﹣inflammatory cytokines, further leading to dysfunction of immune system, with severe complications such as severe sepsis and multiple organ and system dysfunction. In this paper we will discuss immune pathogenesis of adenovirus infection and provide suggestion for treatment of adenovirus pneumonia.
